    Monday, 17 August 2009
    VE (SI) - Indonesia is actually already have a technology and the ability to produce anti-virus H1N1 vaccine or flu pigs.

    However, development still terkendala funds and the lack of sinergisitas stakeholders. "Technology is there but we terkendala funds. Price vaccine abroad reached USD10 per dose. In fact, to meet the needs of 10% people of Indonesia are expensive to reach USD200 million, or approximately Rp2 trillion, "said Deputy State Minister of Research and Technology Development Sipteknas after Amin Soebandrio scientific seminar" The Development of Vaccines The Future "in the series to HUT-119 in the Bio Farma Bandung, last week.

    According to Amin, Indonesia has a H1N1 vaccine seed of the World Health Organization (WHO). However, the government want to make seeds so that the vaccine itself does not always depend on foreign countries. "It is possible vaccine seed produced in Indonesia, but the good survellaince need to identify the virus.

    Because until now the virus had not yet been abroad with the same in the country, "said Amin. According to him, the making of H1N1 vaccine is made mandatory to anticipate the spread of swine flu peak. The flu is a phenomenon pig iceberg in terms of the number of sick people who have not yet compared the number of people contracting.

    In the United States, the amount of the pain recorded only tens of thousands, but predicted that millions of people are contagious. Director of PT Bio Farma (Persero) Isa Mansyur, said his side need sinergisitas with the academics and the government in developing an anti-H1N1 vaccine.

    "Bio Farma though the only vaccine manufacturer in Indonesia and is able to independently conduct research, but we need to work together ABG or academics, businesses, and government kandididat to produce a vaccine," he said. He cite cooperation with Bio Farma Airlangga University and Padjadjaran University in developing a vaccine or anti-virus H5N1 bird flu that has been woven a few years.

    Bio Farma also need billions of chicken eggs as the media, but until now only capable of supporting facilities to meet the needs of 100,000 eggs per week. Look in the mirror on that experience, Jesus is very pessimistic that the making of anti-vaccine H1-N1 can be realized in 2010.

    Moreover, Bio Farma has not obtained a guarantee from the government purchase of vaccines so that the investment was issued not futile. The government also has not give detailed answers about the amount of vaccine needed and who should be prepared. (rudini)

    Indonesia needs help from richer countries for vaccines and vaccines production . They can not afford to purchase this vaccine at $10.00 a piece and they need money for their own vaccine company. The richer needs to help the poorer right now. This is for the sake of humanity.

      Indonesia has refused to share sequences and viral samples in show boat political fashion time and time again. Rich helping poor is a two way street.

        BANDUNG: The government will start the construction of a factory producing influenza vaccines, with a total investment of Rp 1.3 trillion (US$130 billion), an executive said Monday The factory will be located in a complex owned by state pharmaceutical firm PT Bio Farma in Bandung.

        Bio Farma director Iskandar said the Health Ministry had also built a White Leghorn chicken farm in Cisarua, West Java, to supply clean, embryonated eggs as media in which the virus strains would be grown.

        He said the government would import 48,000 White Leghorn samples from Japan.

        The factory, which will use Japanese technology, would need 35,000 eggs a year, he explained.

        "We hope the construction of the factory can be completed in a year," he added.

        He said Bio Farma had been working with the ministry, the Eijkman Institute and Airlangga University for two years in research and development.
        "The research reached a clinical load stage in February and the vaccine can be used for clinical trial in the next three to six months," he said,

        So far, he said Bio Farma was conducting research to produce H1N1 and H5N1 vaccines which were developed based on strains from WHO and local samples. - JP

        comment: the mention of the cost being $130 billion US$ is obviously wrong, it's probably $130 million US$ IMHO.

          Asia worries over H1N1 flu vaccine production

          18 May 2009 07:37:12 GMT
          Source: Reuters
          By Tan Ee Lyn

          HONG KONG, May 18 (Reuters) -Asia has shown steely resolve in fighting the H1N1 flu virus with health checks and quarantines, but with more than 90 percent of flu vaccine production capacity located in the West, is less prepared than it wants to be.

          Vaccines are a key weapon to fight any pandemic influenza virus, but the bulk of production is sited in Europe and the United States and health experts and officials in Asia find that worrying.

          "Do you actually think that in a really serious pandemic that vaccines will be shipped here (to Asia)?" said a microbiologist in Hong Kong, who declined to be identified.

          Even though the new H1N1 appears mild for now, countries like India and Indonesia are keenly aware of their vulnerability and have recently ordered local companies to develop H1N1 vaccines.

          But Asia lacks sophisticated medical technology, experts say, and while it takes an experienced vaccine maker in the west four to six months to prepare a vaccine, Indonesian drugmaker Bio Farma said last week that it would need two years.

          Lily Sulistyowati, an official with Indonesia's Ministry of Health, said that if the country failed to come up with its own vaccine, it would push the WHO to distribute stocks fairly.

          "We had the experience with bird flu where we had to line up to buy Tamiflu behind other countries that didn't have any cases. Why should we line up when we have the most cases?" she said.

          "We hope that won't happen again, we should be given priority if we have more cases than other countries," she told Reuters.

          India has invited a number of local drugmakers to submit plans and the government will decide in the coming week which company gets to manufacture the H1N1 vaccine.

          V.M. Katoch of the Indian Council of Medical Research told Reuters: "We'll do our best ... We are very confident, whatever we try to do, we do succeed."

          HUGE SHORTFALL

          In Geneva on Saturday, health negotiators from rich and poor countries failed to clinch a full deal on virus sharing to produce vaccines, but said they had closed gaps on some tough political issues. [ID:nT317445]

          The vast majority of H1N1 cases are in Mexico and the United States but the spread of the disease to at least 39 countries led the WHO to declare a pandemic was imminent at the end of April. Its pandemic alert level is now 5 on a 6-level scale.

          The WHO, whose data lags national tallies, earlier put the number of confirmed worldwide cases of the flu strain, a mix of swine, human and avian viruses, at 8,480, with 72 deaths.

          Ben Cowling, public health expert at the University of Hong Kong, said it would be interesting to see whether governments in Asia forge deals with western vaccine makers.

          "Many western countries have agreements with vaccine makers. That's why phase 6 alert is a big deal because it means we promise to buy vaccines from you, it gives the vaccine producers the assurance that they need (to go into production)," he said.

          Nearly all of the world's flu vaccine factories - which produce 350 million doses annually - are in Europe and the United States. They can ramp up production to 500 million doses, but that's not enough for a global population of over 6 billion.

          China, Japan, South Korea and Australia produce seasonal flu vaccines but these are mostly for domestic use and their combined share make up less than 10 percent of the world's total.

          "We are in touch with vaccine makers and have expressed our interest to buy. But there are no details as they have not started production yet," a Hong Kong government spokeswoman said.

          Some countries are relaxed as the virus appears mild so far.

          Tawee Chotpitayasunondh, head of Thailand's unit for strategic planning in fighting pandemic flu, said Thailand was "thinking about vaccine' but this was not a priority.

          "The priority now is how to stop the spread among people to prevent secondary spreading, that is what we are fighting now."

          Major vaccine makers in the west have already obtained the new H1N1 virus samples from the WHO, but the organisation has not decided whether manufacturers should shift their production away from seasonal flu vaccines to targetting H1N1.

            We were discussing this same issue back in 2006. Indonesia knew then that there was insufficient global capacity.

            Indonesia had over $21 billion of oil and gas revenues in 2006. They have enormous reserves of both oil and gas. See: http://jakarta.usembassy.gov/econ/(P...ve_Summary.pdf

            If they could provide a more stable environment, perhaps the oil companies would be more inclined to increase production with further exploration.

              BANDUNG, KOMPAS.com ? As a precaution against the pandemic of avian flu and A-H1N1 influenza, the Department of Health has appointed PT Biofarma (Persero) to produce vaccines for those two virus. The contruction project of the facility is planned to start next Monday.

              Aside from the vaccine factory construction, PT Biofarma will also build a sterile chicken farm of 5,145 square meters in Cisarua, Lembang, West Bandung subdistrict, West Java. This facility will produce sterile eggs to be used as the media in which the avian flu virus planted to gain its vaccines.

              The President Director of PT Biofarma, Iskandar, said that the government had budgeted Rp. 1.3 trillion to build those two physical facilities for research. The project was set in 2008 and targeted to finish in four years.

              "The physical construction is targeted to finish on November 2010," he said after meeting the Governor of West Java, Ahmad Heryawan, Wednesday, in Bandung.

              Iskandar explained, the reason to construct a vaccine production facility was because the world's need for flu vaccine is still high. The flu vaccine production capacity world-wide is still approximately 300 million dose per year and is concentrated in Europe, North America, Australia, and Japan. If there was a pandemic, the vaccine production could only cover 10 percent of the global need.

              So far there is no producer in South East Asia, including in Indonesia, that produces its own flu vaccine. Countries in the region are on the verge of not having vaccines if the pandemic emerges.

              In fact, Indonesia is considered prone to avian flu. Biofarma's data showed that since the avian flu case was first reported in Indonesia in 2005 until now, there has been 141 cases with a death toll of 115 (81.6 percent). The flu vaccine factory construction in Indonesia hopefully can contribute the world supply of flu vaccine.

              Biofarma's production capacity for flu vaccine is targeted at 20 million dose per year. The Governor of West Java has asked PT Biofarma to commit prioritizing the flu vaccine supply for citizens of West Java. Throughout 2009 in West Java there have been 99 cases of A-H1N1 influenza, the fourth highest of a total of 25 regions in Indonesia that was infected with the flu.

                    Produced H1N1 Vaccine Next Year

                    Tuesday, November 17, 2009 | 03:35 pm

                    Surabaya, Kompas - Avian Influenza Research Center Bio-Safety Level 3 Airlangga University, Surabaya, East Java, will launch the H1N1 and H5N1 vaccines, Monday (16/11) in Surabaya. H1N1 vaccine will begin November 2010 produced by PT Bio Farma.

                    At the launch ceremony, the Rector of Airlangga University Prof. Fasich would give vaccine (vaccine seed) H1N1 and H5N1 to the Vice President Boediono, who handed it to the Minister of Health Sedyaningsih Endang Rahayu and forwarded to the Director of PT Bio Farma Iskandar.

                    According to Iskandar, H1N1 vaccine will be tested clinically (clinical trials) in humans in March 2010. Production and distribution of H1N1 vaccine conducted November 2010 to 20 million doses of vaccine or one-tenth the population of Indonesia.

                    Because of limited production, Endang said, the vaccine priority for community groups that are vulnerable to avian influenza (AI), such as nurses and laboratory personnel.

                    H5N1 vaccine will be produced according to government policy. In the event of a pandemic and the government asked for the production of H5N1 vaccine, PT Bio Farma to produce because of technology for the production of both vaccines were similar.

                    Head of Avian Influenza Laboratory of Tropical Disease Center (TDC) Unair Chaerul Anwar Nidom explained, if there is mutation of the virus H1N1 or H5N1 virus strain used as a vaccine would be replaced. "Disclosure of information on the incidence of avian influenza infection is necessary," said Nidom.

                    Iskandar said the value of laboratory development projects and production facilities H1N1 and H5N1 vaccines in Airlangga Kampus C, MULYOREJO, Surabaya, about Rp 1.3 trillion. Production facility capacity of 20 million vaccines a year. Projects implemented four years, 2008-2011.

                    Nidom added, research H5N1 vaccine to be made has been made since 2006. For the challenge test (testing candidate vaccines in animals) waiting H5N1 virus samples from the Ministry of Health until August 13, 2009. At that TDC Unair got six types of H5N1 virus.

                    Research H1N1 easier because TDC Unair can get a lot of viruses from clinical samples. After the challenge test, the vaccine would be ready for clinical trials and begin mass produced.

                    AI virus research and vaccine will be conducted in the laboratory area of 224 square meters called Avian Influenza Research Center Bio-Safety Level 3 (BSL-3). In addition to Asia's largest, said Nidom, this unique laboratory for testing space in 30 monkeys (Maccaca fascicularis). Research in the laboratory is very comprehensive.

                    The launch of this vaccine will, according to Boediono, is a form of independence of Indonesia. As a citizen of the world, Indonesia must actively deal with infectious disease that spreads very fast. Moreover, as a tropical country, Indonesia is very vulnerable as a strain and mutation breeding of new viruses.

                    Because the front-line battle against infectious diseases, he said, Indonesia had a chance to master the technology. Therefore, Indonesia should not rely on overseas laboratories. "Indonesia is obliged to share their knowledge with the world for infectious disease outbreaks is the world's problems, but within the framework of mutual benefit," he said. (INA)
